Forget about conventional approaches: In the future, you can evaluate the profile ofyour long goods directly, during hot rolling without the cooling phase, and continuously
monitor dimensional accuracy and surface quality with just one test system. Our mobile
profile measuring devices CALIPRI RCX and the stationary combined testing systems
OSIRIS are equipped with the latest laser light section technology, in order to guarantee
the highest accuracy.

OSIRISCOMBINEDPROFILE & SURFACEINSPECTION»

Sophisticated laser light­section sensors detect thetiniest deviations.

DO YOUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT THE HIGHEST
SURFACE QUALITY AND DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY? THAT´S NO PROBLEM FOR OSIRIS!
UNLIKE OTHER MEASURING SYSTEMS, OUR
SYSTEM COMBINES BOTH TEST STEPS IN ONE
SYSTEM.

Combining two systems (profile measurementand surface inspection) halves the time andmoney spent on mechanics, sensors, repair andmaintenance, and requires only half the space.

Sensors arranged radially around the measuring
object guarantee a complete detection of thelong good. Depending on the size of your products, you can choose between different productvariants.

TWO
TASKS,ONESYSTEM

Measurement field sizes from 50 mm are supported. We would be pleased to advise you inthe selection of the solution suitable for yourrequirements.

This is also possible for measurements at hightemperatures: With the OSIRIS HOT productvariant, you can take measurements at temperatures up to 1,200 °C . This is a significant
advantage in the production of long goods, asmeasurements carried out during production
allow errors to be detected early. This enables
you to make improvements immediately insteadof waiting for the product to cool down and producing rejects in the meantime.

CALIPRI RCX

MOVED FROM ONE ROLLING MILL TO
ANOTHER.

Using CALIPRI RCX for random sample measurement:

03

Using CALIPRI RCX as a development tool:

You can place the device at any point in the rollingmill, either manually or using an automated mechanism. The C-frame of the housing allows thedimensional accuracy of long goods to be checkedat random while rolling is underway.
Start the measurement operation at the touch of
a button – a sensor will move around the rolledmaterial in a circular path. This allows profile sections
to be captured from all directions, which are thencombined to form an overall profile. Following themeasurement, which takes less than 10 seconds,
the result is visible on the tablet PC.

STRIKEWHILE
THE IRONIS HOTDIRECT TARGET/ACTUAL COMPARISONAt the start of production, the rolling stand must be set up correctlyfor every new rolling profile. A complex, time-consuming process –until now. CALIPRI RCX shortens this step considerably while delivering even more accurate measurement results than usual processes.
In future, you can take measurements quickly and easily on the still
hot material between the rolling stands. High time and cost savingsguaranteed!

The measurement device can be transported from one rolling mill toanother with ease. This represents a key cost advantage, as you only
need to use one portable measurement device instead of several
permanently installed and expensive systems. It couldn‘t be simpler:
Position the device, perform the measurement and compare theactual profile with the target contour on the tablet PC.

The calibration needs to be developed before new rolled products
can be made. With CALIPRI RCX, the key dimensions required forthis can now be recorded immediately while the profile is still hot. You
no longer need to wait for the sample to cool down. If required, thesoftware automatically converts cold to hot dimensions. This meansthat you have access to more information and, above all, more accurate results.

PRODUCTIONAPPLICATION AREAS

The contour of the rolled material can be analyzed conveniently on the tablet PC. Deviations
from the target values are highlighted in color if
desired and all results can be exported or printed
as reports at the touch of a button.

EXTENDED FLATNESSMEASUREMENT

DETECTION UP TO THE
ENDS OF THE PRODUCTWITH FMG THE FLATNESS OF LONGPRODUCTS CAN BE TESTED AND
DOCUMENTED RIGHT UP TO THE ENDS
OF THE PRODUCT.

High accuracy and detection up to the ends
by additional sensors.

The FMG flatness measuring systems use the latest
laser light section technology and sophisticatedalgorithms to enable measurement right up to theends of the product - in conformity with standards
and with high accuracy. This eliminates the need fora separate system for flatness analysis of the ends.

FMG systems are equipped with a databaseinterface to a higher-level computer system(e.g.: CAQ, material monitoring system, processcontrol system), so that they enable the input ofproduct data (e.g.: material IDs, material metadata) as well as the defined output of result data.

The use of laser light section technology in combination with a sophisticated evaluation algorithm enables measurement results independent of the movement of the long goods. Thus, when changing theprofile, elaborate mechanical setting processes forthe positioning of the sensors is no longer required.
Combined with simple and rugged mechanics, thisresults in low acquisition costs, low operating costs
and low maintenance costs.

The camera and laser units are mounted on a
fixed measurement bar. All units are easily accessible from outside for maintenance purposes.
Cover panels and ventilation elements protect
the optical parts from soiling and overheating.
